Dog Chew Toy

Since I made a cat toy last week, I thought it was appropriate to make a dog toy this week.

Materials:

-scissors

-lots of rope

Making the thing:

1) Take about 5-6 feet of rope and cut them into three lengths.

2) Fold them all in half.

3) Tie a knot in the center.

4) Cut the folded ends.

5) Spread the ropes out.

6) Tie a rope from one side of the knot to the other side.

7) Repeat until all of the ends have been tied.

8) Take one rope and tie it around the bunch of rope at one end.

9) Repeat with every rope until each has been tied around the bunch.

10) Braid the ends and tie knots at the ends of the braids.

11) Repeat with the other three strands.

12) On the other side of the knot, do steps 8-11.

13) Breathe a sigh of relief with the knowledge that you haven't spent $10 on a toy.

14) Play tug-of-war with your dog!
